Here's a refresher.

Use the challenge theme-summer!

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Crystal Minkler is beach bound in her red VW Bug! She showcases this cute card from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set and creates a tropical scene with fun papers from the Summertime paper pad. She uses the A2 Card Layout Die Set to create the frame. So much summer cuteness!

Danni Bindel showcases a very lazy Newton from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and coordinating die set who is languorously enjoying a summer day on his floatie! Danni uses papers from the Summertime paper pad with dies from the Sea Borders and the Sky Scene Builder die sets to create the sky and layers of waves. She adds postage-edging from the Framework die set. Anyone else want to join Newton on his lazy river adventure?

Debbie Owens showcases the tiny crab from the Tides of Love stamp set who is enjoying a day of collecting seashells. Deb uses the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout, and she uses the Seashells Stencil to create those pretty seashells. She pulls a sentiment from the Summer Moments stamp set. Such a fun way to showcase this little guy!

Amy Tollner showcases a trio of beach-bound vehicles from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set. She showcases them on palm tree paper from the Summertime paper pad. She uses dies from the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout. Which vehicle would you choose to go to the beach?

Claire Lamb showcases Newton's pretty hanging basket filled with summer leaves. Her beautiful distressing compliments Newton and his basket from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the Basic Frames die set to create the stitching on her panel. Hope your hanging baskets looks as good as Claire's!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the sketch above. 

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Claire Lamb's sandy background created using inks and the Land Borders die set will have you yearning for a road trip of your own!  She uses two of the beach-bound vehicles from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set.  A fabulous and creative way to use the current IPC sketch!

Crystal O. Minkler uses papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad for her background.  Riding through those beautiful daisies is one of the ladies from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. She places the little lady on a vellum, scallop-edged circle (Circle Frames die set). Don't you love how she adds the clouds and sun to her spring scene using the Sky Scene Builder die set?  

Debbie Owens takes a break from spring and starts on her Halloween cards!  For her spookily cute card, she uses two of the images from the Franken-Newton stamp set.  She pulls additional scary elements

 from the Count Newton stamp set (Jack-o-lantern bucket, big tombstone), the Spiderweb Oval stamp set (spider), and the Spooky Street stamp set (haunted house and little tombstone).  She places all the elements on papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and adds a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set.  Spook-tacularly cute!

Diane Morales creates a mini slimline card measuring 3 1/2" x 6 1/4", and it's packed with spring cuteness! She uses papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad which pair wonderfully with the lambs from the Baa stamp and coordinating die set.  Behind those lambs is a little grass to nibble on which was created using the Land Borders die set.  Not sure how or where to add your sentiment?  Use Diane's idea of a speech bubble which was created using the Speech Bubbles die set.  A super fun, spring card!

Amy Tollner goes with a birthday theme featuring two of our darling cats from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set!  Aren't they just too cute?  She pulls papers from the Birthday Party paper pad giving her card a fun, fabulous, fiesta vibe!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday,  April 14, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Here's a refresher.

Use the theme, Halloween, with your NND Products.

The IPC Design Team has more cute, but spooky, Halloween cards to inspire you!

Amy Tollner creates a spooky evening sky in shades of purple complete with a full moon (Sky Scene Builder die set). Then she adds an old tree and owl from the Spooky Street stamp set.  She adds some tombstones (Spooky Street stamp set) on her black grass (Land Borders die set).  Enjoying this spooky occasion are critters from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set.  For her postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set.  Spook-tacularly done!

The Frames Squared die set was used to create this darling card created by Claire Lamb. Claire distresses a beautiful evening sky just right for our mysterious Count Newton from the Count Newton stamp and die set. She adds a rolling landscape in black using the Land Borders die set.  The added bats and tombstones complete this eerie scene!

Debbie Owens creates her own spooky scene with a full moon (Circle Frames die set) spotlighting Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp set as he flies through the sky! She, too, uses the creepy tree from the  Spooky Street stamp set.  She then adds some colorful Jack-o-lanterns from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set.  Isn't Newton looking cute with his head poking out of the black pumpkin?  The sentiment was pulled from the Count Newton stamp set.

Our gals are on a roll with spooky backgrounds!  Diane Morales adds spooky lavender clouds  (Clouds stencil) to her cemetery scene filled with headstones from the Spooky Street stamp set.  Bravely strolling through this scene is Newton and his pals from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set. No spooky scene can be complete without some added bats!  

Sue T. fills her background with embossed spooky bats using the Flying Bats stencil. She adds a full moon complete with craters, which she makes using the Bokeh stencil.  She adds her Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and die set in front of her big moon.  She adds a sentiment from the hSpooky Roundabout stamp set.  Of course, she completes her card with spooky bats!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, October 21, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Ready to go surfing?  Diane Morales will inspire you to pack up and head to the beach!  She pulls the blue polka dotted paper from the Summertime paper pad for her sky and adds a big sun using the Sky Scene Builder die set. She colors her VW bus (Beach Bound stamp and die set) in the same blue and places it on the small-scalloped oval (Oval Frames die set). This is all placed on the palm tree paper (Summertime paper pad).  Just love the fresh, ocean feel of this card!

          

Newton is celebrating the 4th of July in style!  Sue T. uses the Fireworks stencil to create the firework blooms in the background. She adds Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) with his glimmering sparklers. The patriotic paper and button add even more patriotic flare!  

Amy Tollner's card will win over a coffee-lover's heart!  Using the Coffee House Stories paper pad, Amy pulls three pattern papers that coordinate purr-fectly with Newton from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment on a banner die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.  Anyone craving a cup of java now? 😸

Claire Lamb has Newton (Naughty Newton stamp and die set) peeling off the white 'wrapping' paper to reveal the confetti (Confetti stencil) hidden beneath! Such a fun interpretation of the sketch!  She uses the Frames Squared die set to make the scalloped panel. Then pulls the sentiment from the Zoo Party stamp set.  Just love the CAS style with that Naughty Newton!

 Debbie Owens uses the sketch to cover mini-composition notebooks.  For this mini-book, she pulls the ice cream paper from the Summertime paper pad and coordinates it with Newton enjoying a yummy Popsicle (Newton's Summer Treats stamp set).  Check out Deb's blog for more mini-books using the challenge sketch!

Amy Tollner is showcasing papers and dies from the recent mini-release with this sweet card! Layering several papers from the  A Dog's Life paper pad, she die cuts a pink, scalloped heart (Heart Frames die cut) and adds a black Scottie silhouette using the newly released Dog Silhouette die set.

For her scene, she adds some fluffy clouds (Sky Scene Builder die set), inks on some trees using the Tree Line stencil, adds some rolling hills and grass (Land Borders die set), and adds a wood-grain fence (Fence die).

She then adds clouds using the dies from the Sky Scene Builder die set. She adds the playful kitten from the Captivated Kittens stamp set.  Such a fun, colorful card!

She stamps the sentiment on a circular panel die cut using the Circle Frames die set.  So, so cute!

Sue T. gives us some natural beauty with her hummingbird and flowers!  She uses the Basketweave stencil to create a nice subtle backdrop.

Amy Tollner also inspires with her use of the Tropical Leaves stencil. Her leaves make a perfect background for her white kitten from the Aloha Newton stamp and coordinating die set. These colors work wonderfully for all those tropical flowers and leaves!  Amy also uses the Frames & Flags die set for her banner and the Circle Frames die set on which she adds her kitten. A piece of tropical paradise!
